<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2228014, member: 24091&quot;]The biggest difference between the US coins market and the world coin market is the age of the collectors.&nbsp; Here in the US, the age dynamic will increasingly become a headwind as there are not nearly enough new collectors coming on board to absorb the copious amounts of material being liquidated by older collectors or their heirs.&nbsp; This phenomenon has been made even more pronounced by the widening of the income gap in this country.&nbsp; While the middle class continues to get exterminated in this country unabated (while everyone is distracted by clerks who refuse issue marriage licenses), the rest of the world&#039;s middle-class is surging ahead, with nearly a billion people who were destined for a life of poverty only a decade ago, now entering the ranks of the middle-class. It has been an uneven process, and some areas of the world have made far more progress than others. But make no mistake about it, many of the new members of the middle-class in southeast Asia have gotten the collecting bug, and their influence on the market is sure to put a floor under nearly all world coins, as many of these same collectors don&#039;t limit themselves to strictly coinage of the country they are a citizen of, but instead collect on a world-wide basis much as world collectors in the United States do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
